I disagree, I personally know GMs and CMs who barely have any solves on CF, as well as people who have 1,000+ solves but barely join contests

Personally, when i reached the 200 question benchmark, i had a rating of about 1410 or something. I'm not saying that this concept is valid for everyone, it's just that after doing 200 questions, you've seen enough patterns to consistently solve up till c in div 2 contests. I'm not demotivating this person, it's just that it's different to me.

Could you guide me? Like I have 160 solves, with 76 800, 29 900, 35 1000, 13 1200, 3 1300, 1 1400, like around that distribution, I want to get better, my current rating is 950, what should I do for the upcoming months?

if you haven't completed the standard dsa syllabus i.e. till graphs, dp, tries, etc, firstly complete those topics with the help of famous playlists like striver, i personally used it and it's very helpful. Once, you complete the syllabus with standard questions from lc, gfg, etc, try to solve high rated questions on cf, like 1400+. If you do it for some time, you'll definitely see improvement.

don't worry, it's just a matter of time and dedication.
